Something definitely needs to be done to stop all of the accidents on 281.

College and teenaged kids drive this daily. It's covered with farm equipment and big trucks and the speed limit is 75?

The passing lanes are the most dangerous I have ever seen. Two of them are less than a quarter of a mile in length and are topping blind hills. Total death trap

There have been far too many lives lost on Highway 281 between Hico and Interstate 20 over the last 20 years. I can name 7 right off the top of my head. I'm not sure what the solution to the problem is, but something needs to change NOW.
Lower the speed limit, widen the highway, put a concrete divider down the middle...Anything! The necessary changes have got to be made so that Highway 281 can accomodate the increasing flow of traffic between DFW and Austin and the ever-growing population of Stephenville.
The years keep passing with no change. The number of wrecks and fatalities on that stretch of highway is astounding. And each year more and more lives are lost. It's time for TXDOT to find a solution to this problem...a solution to save countless innocent lives. It's imperative.

Stephenville has 17,000 residents and 9,000 college students. 281 gets a lot of use because of this. It's time to widen the road.

There really is a need for the improving of 281. It has the potential of becoming a major thoroughfare, what with it spanning the country from north to south, but right now, it's a waste of potential. We need for this road to be improved.

Regardless of reasons for the accidents and fatalities; 281 has become increasingly dangerous through the years. Widening the 2 lane highway and lowering the speed limit would definitely curtail accidents whether fatal or not.

I also live off a private accessing 281N; and it is so very dangerous to pull out into traffic going 80 mph. I have been a resident for the past ten years; plus my mother 20 years before that; and traffic has greatly increased.

As a Tarleton State University student, we have lost way too many fellow students & family from highway 281's dangerous conditions.

The speed limit is to fast on 281. The interstate 20 isn't as fast as this. It's ridiculous the amount of accidents and deaths I have seen on this road every year. Widening it would not help. But lowering the speed would be a good start. It scares me to pull out onto it from where I live.
